21 Lessons for the 21st Century

What about our modernity?

Yuval Noah Harari, an Israel military historian, broke into the field of popular-science nonfiction extremely swiftly. His first big publication “Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind” succeed all over the world and made nonfiction even greater than ever after. The second book “Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow” was equally striking and popular.

The books covered two different and important time periods: the past and the future of humanity. That’s incredibly fascinating, but what about today? How can we change our lives, lives of our children, and the whole Earth today? Now, when we know how did we come here and where should we go, it’s time to talk about the present.

We created this world and we should survive in it

Apart from his incredible academic and literary achievements, Harari is known due to a rich activist performance. He stands for freedom of choice, animal rights, propagates equality and rationality. His new book “21 Lessons for the 21st Century” sheds a light on all crucial problems and difficulties of modern times.

It’s hard to choose the most dangerous and horrifying era in history. Regardless our striking achievements in science and economics, the humanity is within an inch of nuclear war, the planet is torn apart by senseless intercultural conflicts, millions of people die starving, suffer incurable diseases, and become victims of terrorism every day.

It seems this war with ourselves will never end… But only a strong skill of critical thinking and another look at the human history can change the world for the better. Discard your prejudice, forget the stereotypes, open your mind, and offer your hand to others no matter how different they are. Take a glance at our past as it’s a source of information to fix the mistakes our ancestors have made.
